is it even worth using electrical weapons on people in PA? i never really had luck doing large amounts of damage with electrical weapons.
as far as I'm concerned all kinds of armor (minus the tesla) in the game has the lowest resistanceses set in electrical dmg.
So according to the game's list of armors you (should) be better of using electrical based weapons on biological creatures.
although F2 has some strange calculating issues and I don't know if this is one of them.
There is also the issue with Floaters and the Pulse Pistol, for some reason when your NPC's are shooting pulse pistol at Floaters they always cause 5 HP in dmg. - I think this is a bit strange taken into consideration that your NPC's can toast troopers in PA with the pulse pistol without much effort, and that Floaters seem to bee vulnerable to pulse rifle fire - of course you'd have to take the dmg potential of the weapons into account.

Damn it!! I'll probably have to play the game again to find the answers - well thats not a bad thing, it's just that I don't have the time.
Bombs are not the answer - yes is........

With the Fallout map editor i could find the holy hand granade, boss guns and the alien blaster. The holy hand g. has an amazing damage it's cool. But the boss plasma gun isn't very cool, pulse rifle takes more damage than that. And the alien blaster, it is cool but it has a very small range, only 10. And i wondered about the zip gun. Why is it a hidden gun in F2? In FT u can get it in the first mission, strange.

everybody already knows about that. And change your sig, it's annoying. Something non-gif.

The zip gun is different in FO2 than in FOT. It's a lot better.

I just said my opinion.

I like using zip gun in FT. It is accurate.

The zip gun is like the shiv. It was going to have a few cool uses, but they cut it because it didn't pan out.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

I mean c'mon, if it at least looked nice. But it's fuckin' ugly, it's badly drawn and it's an ugly guy like chewing something. And it IS annoying. I don't have anything against Gecko but really the sig sucks. If he needs a gif it should at least look nice, like... Image

The forum has some technical problems lately, after the newest update everything went crazy. The smileys will be back... hopefully.

The technical problem you are refering to, was the avatar problem.

The smilies are dead and gone.

Mine is an avatar. It's of to the side so it doesn't make the page any longer. Also, Guybrush is cool, as opposed to some random guy chewing cud.

Maybe if he did something more than just sword fight.. like maybe break dancing, then he'd be cool.
